What materials are not accepted at the landfill? The landfill does not accept household trash or hazardous waste, including medical waste, liquids, sludge, paints, whole tires, batteries, drums and asbestos-containing materials.

How much does it cost to use the landfill? Our rates are based on volume. The minimum charge is $44 with a 4-yard minimum, which covers the first 4 cubic yards of waste. Each cubic yard over the minimum is $11 per cubic yard. For reference, a pickup truck bed filled with trash that is piled no higher than the top of the truck’s cab is considered 4 cubic yards. The equation for estimating your trash’s cubic yardage = (length in feet x width in feet x height in feet) divided by 27. The scale attendant on duty will determine actual measurement and cost.

What types of payments does the landfill accept? We accept cash or check only--no credit or debit cards. Commercial customers have the option of applying for a credit account.
